Who will win? Board set to award NYC casino licenses at Monday meeting

As many as three downstate full casino licenses could be awarded when the New York Gaming Facility Location Board meets in Manhattan on Monday.

The board’s Dec. 1 marks the end of a long, two-year campaign to bring full casino gambling — including lucrative table games such as blackjack, craps, and roulette — to the New York City area. Just three bidders for the three licenses remain in the running, though it is not a guarantee that the board will award all of the licenses on Monday.
